“Andy Rowe responded quickly to the request for a quote and provided a very reasonable detailed estimate promptly.
He and his son arrived each day at the time agreed wanted no coffees or teas or other sustenance and got on with the job in a systematic and professional way. The quality of their work was excellent, and in particular the repairs to the rather old windows amazing.
The only snagging problem was attended to immediately. As with all projects there were inevitably a few 'extras'. These were fully justified and discussed before being undertaken.
If you need the outside of your house painted I can not recommend Andy highly enough, not only is he exceedingly professional, he is also very helpful, and a very nice person to deal with as well.”

“I asked Andy and Matthew to return to do another decorating job, because I was pleased with Andy's work. Matthew then came to decorate a bedroom and I was delighted with the results again. They go out of their way to be helpful and accommodating. I would recommend 'A.Rowe Decorator and Carpenter'.”
“These guys really know what they're doing - they painted several rooms in our house, which now look great, for a fair price and with minimal disruption. They gave us realistic professional opinions on what was possible, yet still did everything to a very high standard. They were efficient and timely and always friendly - not a bother to have them in our home at all. Wouldn't hesitate to hire again and would recommend to anyone!”
“Andy and Matthew have just finished nearly three weeks with us redecorating several rooms, covering painting, carpentry and flooring. We're delighted with it - they have transformed the rooms with an exceptional finish. They've been a pleasure to have in the house and have been unobtrusive, tidy, punctual, pragmatic (saving us money and time with clever solutions for our wonky Victorian house), and always incredibly positive - nothing is ever a problem or too much trouble. Thanks both, and we look forward to having you back.”
